Digital impressions are taken using an intraoral scanner that creates a detailed 3-D image of your mouth. The scanner is small enough that it fits on the end of a wand. It looks like the tool we use to polish your teeth, only bigger. We take the scan by systematically moving the wand around your mouth as it emits a specialised scanning light. The images of your mouth can be viewed on a computer screen within seconds, to be viewed by both you & the dentist. We love that digital impressions gives our patients an opportunity to see in detail what’s going on in their own mouths
